You do not need a contract in order to provide home, neurological, or vestibular treatment services to injured workers. However, you are required to:

• Get our approval before providing treatment by contacting the claim owner or our Teleclaim team
• Follow our fee schedules

Home physiotherapy

Home physiotherapy treatment may be provided where an injured worker is unable to safely travel to a physiotherapy clinic or where the WorkSafeBC claim owner approves treatment in an injured worker’s residence due to the nature and severity of the injury. These conditions may include, but are not limited to injured workers with traumatic injuries recently discharged from the hospital.

The goal of home physiotherapy is to improve function to a level that allows the injured worker to safely travel to a physiotherapy clinic.

Home physiotherapy and physiotherapy clinic visits (contracted physiotherapy treatment services) cannot occur concurrently.

• Moderate/severe traumatic brain injury (with associated physical dysfunction)
• Cranial nerve disorders
• Cauda equine lesions with neurological sign
• Spinal cord injury or
• Acute traumatic spinal injury (with upper motor neuron lesion signs)

When treatment is provided for both a neurological disorder and a WorkSafeBC accepted orthopedic condition, only the neurological treatment can be invoiced.

Vestibular physiotherapy

Vestibular treatment services may be provided when the physiotherapist has training in assessment of vestibular conditions and an injured worker presents with:

• Mild/moderate traumatic brain injury (with associated vestibular dysfunction)
• Vestibular disorders
• Concussion

Approval must be received from the WorkSafeBC claim owner before the initial vestibular physiotherapy visit in order to bill for this service.

The physiotherapist must receive approval of the treatment plan from the WorkSafeBC claim owner before starting treatment. The WorkSafeBC claim owner may accept, modify, or reject the treatment plan at any time during the treatment process.

Please note that vestibular physiotherapy should not be provided concurrently with other physiotherapy services, such as orthopedic/musculoskeletal, home or neurological physiotherapy. Any exceptional billing considerations must be approved by Health Care Programs.
